Deana Lawson Wins Guggenheim’s Hugo Boss Prize - The New York Times

Deana Lawson, whose images of Black people embody both the majestic and the quotidian, has become the first artist working in photography to be awarded the Guggenheim Museum’s Hugo Boss Prize.

“Her contribution to the medium and the larger cultural landscape is indelible,” said Richard Armstrong, the Guggenheim’s director.

Organized with the fashion company to recognize achievement in contemporary art, the prize comes with a $100,000 honorarium as well as a solo exhibition next year.
